I think from here on out I will refer to The Republican Party

as "radical republicans.'
Calling them conservative is so misleading since they wish to conserve nothing.
There only desire to to break any social contracts and norms that currently restrain some and aid the poorer and less fortunate.
Radical I would say.

I am old enough to remember when conserative meant fisical conserative and to win elections they have courted any group who would vote against the Dems. Now the tea party folks thinks it is about abortion instead of taxes. They consider the anti-abortion agenda qualifies any candidate for office. Now Ron Paul has sought the Neo-Nazi group and this is easy as soon as they can vote against the black man and not being black qualifies any one any where. Lugar has been beaten by TP and it is doubtful this candidate is qualified. The he'll of all of this is the Dems care about people having jobs and other necessities and the repubs don't give a damn about them so they end up voting against themselves.

They are rather REGRESSIVE being that they want to go back as far as they can go, if allowed; they do not conserve anything at all!
